A importância da definição das áreas de influência(AI's) no licenciamento ambiental para a sociedade - estudo de caso: as minas de caulim no município de Ipixuna do Pará-PA

Abstract

Research on the relevance of defining areas of influence (AI) to society, approached about Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for projects of mining. We analyzed eleven (11) Environmental Impact Studies, filed with the State Secretariat of Environment - SEMA, involving the decade from 1990 to 2000, and laws and specialized literature. Therefore, it was addressed to mining in the state of Para and the licensing process, defining areas of influence in mining projects and the creation of six criteria, specific to this thesis, with the aim of AI's out in 11 EIA's for the middle anthropic. The test results led to detect the reasons that confirm the relevance of AI's, as well as implications associated with the quality of the EIA and its functionality to society. Seeking grants that strengthen the argument made about the relevance of AI's work has been done in the field of mining of kaolin. These mines have been operating for over 10 years, and it was possible to see some changes in their AI's. The result of the field, confirmed the analysis made in the 11 EIA's, it was clear notice that the decision to select and set the AI's, presented in the EIA's aiming the licensing of mines kaolin, triggering consequences for the local community that can influence the course of life of the licensed project. Finally, there is awakened the need for development of scientific studies that are able to contribute with specific methodologies for the definition of AI's for the Amazon region and thus, treat the licensing process from legislation directed the Para state.
